Summary

This study looks at whether adding a breath-holding task during fMRI scans can improve the accuracy of mapping essential brain areas in people with brain tumors. Researchers will compare standard fMRI results with those adjusted using breath-hold data. The goal is to reduce false negatives and help surgeons avoid damaging critical brain regions.
